Obit of Mrs. Mary GRUBER (nee BAUMANN b 1849, d 1939) Nicollet Co.
Obituary NU Review 2-6-1939-Mrs. Mary Gruber
Mrs. Mary Gruber, widow of Frank Gruber, former residents of New Ulm, 
died at the home of her daughter Mrs. Wolfgang Brey in Lafayette township 
Saturday shortly after 12 o'clock noon.  She had been in poor health for 
the past four months.  The cause of death was dropsy.
	The deceased was one of the oldest residents of this part of the 
state as she was born August 5, 1846, in Austria, coming to America with 
her family whose name was Baumann when she was 22 years of age.  They 
settled on a farm near Olivia.  In 1876 she was married at Holy Trinity 
to Frank Gruber and they made their home in the farming community of 
Lafayette.  Nine children were born to them, of whom three died.  After 
their children were grown, the father and mother retired to New Ulm to 
make their home and there Mrs. Gruber died in 1914, after five year's 
residence in our city.  Mrs. Gruber then lived for several years with her 
son on the old home farm, then for a year with her daughter at Searles, 
and for the past 11 years she has made her home with another daughter, 
Mrs. Wolfgang Brey, in Lafayette.
	The surviving sons and daughters are Anton and Frank of New Ulm, 
Wolfgang and Joseph of Lafayette and Mrs. Mike Hegler of Searles and Mrs. 
Brey.  There are 23 grandchildren and 33 great grandchildren.  One sister, 
Mrs. Frank Altmann, and one brother Joseph Baumann live in New Ulm.
	Funeral services will be held Tuesday morning at 9:30 from Holy 
Trinity and burial will be in the Catholic cemetery.  Mrs. Gruber was a 
member of the Christian Mothers Society.
